Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low, indirect flow
• Placement: Lower reef areas or protected rockwork
• Temperament: Generally peaceful but can spread
• Care Level: Beginner to Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to brighter conditions, since abrupt lighting increases can prevent the coral from adjusting comfortably.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current so the disc can expand normally rather than remaining compressed or folded.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and adjust only after observing normal disc expansion.

Temperament

Keep it with adequate room to spread. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but expansion over nearby surfaces can affect neighboring corals over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but stable conditions and appropriate placement remain the main priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe disc expansion after placement or any lighting adjustment. Avoid abrupt changes, especially stronger light or direct flow, and give the coral time to settle before moving it again.

Choose a protected placement and let its response guide any adjustments.
